I am using Microsoft Windows 10 on my PC and to encrypt my disk I enabled the Bitlocker on it. Bitlocker is awesome. It works seamlessly encrypts and decrypts data on the fly. Unfortunately my PC doesn’t have the TPM module and I was forced to use a password prompt at computer start to decrypt drives. And here comes the issue.

Recently I had to install an encryption software because I have started to keep some confidential data on my laptop and wanted to be sure it will not be compromised in case of my laptop is stolen. I was really surprised when notice the mass of encryption software available on the market. There is various options and features which such software can serve and they are quite neatly described on Wikipedia.
